Warner Bros. Basks in ‘One Battle After Another’ and ‘Sinners’ Oscar Wins, but a Paramount Sale May Mean the End of Its Auteur-Friendly Reputation; The Bride! May Lose $90M When Marketing Costs Are Included
Yup. Outside of *True Grit* and an Alex Garland film he (allegedly) tried to fuck with, David Ellison has ***never*** played in that space. All the more reason why his buying of Warners, the auteurs’ studio going back for *decades*, is such a cause for concern. Call your Congressman. Kill this deal. Now.

“The bride may lose $90 million” There is no may about it. As for the auteurs-friendly reputation, people were yelling the same when Zaslav took over. The real question is will Movie theaters even exist in large enough quantity to make it worth the cost of distributing movies to them over just sending them to streaming.
